Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 945 AM PDT Tue May 7 2024

SYNOPSIS
Sunny today with gusty northwest winds in the mountains and deserts.
On Wednesday, weak offshore flow will bring a warmer day to the valleys along with breezy northeast winds in the mountain passes and the deserts. Seasonally warm weather is forecast Thursday through Saturday with an upper level trough stalled over the Southwest.

DISCUSSION
FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...

Except for a pocket of low clouds over the coastal waters west of San Diego County this morning, skies were clear across Southern California. The 12Z NKX sounding showed a Precipitable Water of a relatively low 0.59", It also showed northwest winds from 20-40 kts above 700 mb. Some of that wind energy will mix down to the surface in the mountains and deserts where it will be a breezy day with sustained winds of 15-30 mph gusting 40-50 mph through the San Gorgonio Pass and into the northern Coachella Valley. This northwest flow aloft shifts northeast on Wednesday and Thursday as a closed low forms over the Nevada. This offshore flow pattern will bring a period of north to northeast winds to the deserts and the mountains tomorrow, some of which will funnel through the Cajon Pass and the San Gorgonio Pass into the Inland Empire.

West of the mountains, a coastal eddy spins up tonight which will bring low clouds and fog to the coastal zones through tomorrow morning. The low clouds will dissipate in most areas by late morning, but linger at some of the beaches through the afternoon.
The eddy continues Wednesday night with low clouds returning to the coastal zones before retreating back the coast in the afternoon, again lingering near the beaches most of the day.

For Friday through Sunday the models show a large closed upper low over the Southwest meandering slowly eastward from Nevada on Friday to Utah on Sunday. This places SoCal on the west side of the upper low with predominately weak north to northeast flow aloft and overall seasonal weather.

AVIATION
071525Z...Patchy and intermittent low clouds over the coastal waters through 20z. BKN low clouds after 04Z coastal waters moving inland about 10 miles to just west of KONT and KRNM overnight into Wednesday. Bases 1500-1800 feet MSL with tops around 2000 feet MSL.

Otherwise...mostly clear skies with unrestricted VIS will continue today and tonight.

MARINE
No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Saturday.
